Surveillance and Activity Verification
Lawful, targeted observation to verify conduct, movements or recurring activity.
Overview
A disciplined response to a sensitive question.
Surveillance is useful only when it is directed at a legitimate question and conducted within clear legal and ethical limits. We define the relevant activity, observation windows, locations and reporting standard before deployment.
What the enquiry may examine
- Presence at relevant public locations
- Time, duration and sequence of observable activity
- Associations visible in lawful public observation
- Consistency between reported and observed conduct
